people around you that can be a mirror for you and reflect back to you what they see.

So somebody who can say to you, Mari, I love you so much.

I know you.

how you're showing up right now, it's different.

And I think that I'm seeing something in you that isn't consistent with how you normally are.

And I really, really, really want you to feel well.

And I think you might not be seeing like what we're seeing, you know?

So you need mirrors around you that are paying attention to your well-being.

Yeah.

And are willing to reflect to you what they see.

Yeah.

And then there are these guidelines that it's like, if you're depressed for six weeks, that's called the baby blues.

But if it goes beyond six weeks, that's depression.

Okay.

I don't know, man.

Like having a baby is the single most transformative experience of your life ever.

It's going to take some time to adjust and your hormones are on a roller coaster.

Yeah.

So...

I just say give yourself time, but you also don't have to be in it completely by yourself.
